I've seen Carmen on tv but never live. I'd love to see it live. That, and the Marriage of Figaro.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Seen Grease and joseph

 

[Monkey Man]

Mikado is very good. Didn't really get into 7 Brides for 7 Brothers though. That's about my lot, unless Ballamory counts.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Yes, i have seen "FAME" The musical and a comedy at a theatre in Dublin. Both very good but give me a Music Festival any day...........get down and dirty :dance: :mexican:

My kids loved 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. (I knew I had forgotten one)
We videoed it and they watched it over and over again especially the punchup in the barn building.
Great stuff.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

Buddy Holly Story. Very good as well

 

[Bwian]

Don Giovani

Grease

Les Miserables

Swan Lake-D'oh! Bloody Ballet innit...

Saw Rocky Horror in Toronto years ago....great night out but I look shit in a basque

Both. The opera was some tedious shite I was dragged to, mind.

I got in trouble with my then gf, for starting to applaud between acts.
From then on, it got increasing to exceedingly boring, and I wanted to leave the stuffyness for the fresh air and DANCE AND SING FOR JOY at my freedom.

opera suck arse.

Ballet is a different matter though, something else entirely.
